Is this STO?

[Dtris]

Hey everyone!

I had a question about this path that I have embarked on and I was wondering if it is service to others (I'm a noob). Basically it is consciously (in the beginning it's consciously but hopefully I pass that to subconsciouly when I get better) doing things for the creator.

For example, this is something I would consciously tell myself and believe:
"I am eating this food because I love the creator and want to live to love Krishna."
"I am studying for my physics exam because I see Krishna in everything and I want to get a good job to help His children who are also him too."
"Thank you Krishna for helping me get a B on my exam."
As a side note: I view the pantheistic creator as Krishna because it helps me with devotion and love towards the creator, and this path is also called bhakti yoga.  

Is saying things like that actually service to others or does it just increase faith?

IMO there are two general ways to be of service to others. The first is the most literal sense. Taking actions which are in service to an other self. The second is in radiating love and energy to someone, or the planet.

42.7 Questioner: I would like to try to make an analogy for this in third density. Many entities here feel great compassion toward relieving the physical problems of third-density other-selves by administering to them in many ways, bringing them food if there is hunger as there is in the African nations now, bringing them medicine if they believe they require administering to them medically, and being selfless in all of these services to a very great extent.

This is creating a polarization or a vibration that is in harmony with green ray or fourth density. However, it is not balanced with the understanding of fifth density that these entities are experiencing catalyst and a more balanced administration to their needs would be to provide them with the learning necessary to reach the state of awareness of fourth density than it would be to administer to their physical needs at this time. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. To a mind/body/spirit complex which is starving, the appropriate response is the feeding of the body. You may extrapolate from this.

On the other hand, however, you are correct in your assumption that the green ray response is not as refined as that which has been imbued with wisdom. This wisdom enables the entity to appreciate its contributions to the planetary consciousness by the quality of its being, without regard to activity or behavior which expects results upon visible planes.

Your affirmations are more toward the second part, radiating love and light. Simply ask yourself if those affirmations do radiate love to others. Can you improve the affirmation to radiate more love?

In my humble opinion, only the third of your quotes is truly radiating love and light to creation. While the first two are sincere, they are not doing so as you seem to intend. Can you see why I would think so?
